Congrats, you have taken someone to civil court and gotten a judgement against them, now what? The court will not just hand you money, you need to locate assest and then ask the courts to enforce that judgement.
Have you taken someone to court for a civil case and obtained a judgment from a bad renter, or a financial judgement from an accident to pay medical bills? Getting the judgement is just beginning and sometimes the easiest part. Now you have to find them. In most cases you need to obtain a social security number as part of the court process, our skip trace investigations can obtain that SSN as well as start the initial steps of finding a physical location for them.
Once you have them located, they must be served with court papers. It’s a good thing we can do that too! Do not rely on the certified mail or even the sheriff’s office to serve in a timely fashion They are busy. You can obtain much more by hiring a Budenz investigator to serve those documents, as we talk with neighbors, mail carriers, and anyone that answers the doors.
What about assets searches? yes, our financial investigations can locate banks and physical property that you can attach that judgement against to try to obtain your money. Many our financial services are only available if there is an active civil case. If you have a contractual agreement with the defendant like a lease or rental contract there are even more options when it comes to locating and collecting a judgement from them.
